4 bed detached house for sale

School House, Spittal, Pembrokeshire SA62

FBM Signature are delighted to present School House, Spittal to the market. Set on a sizeable plot in a tranquil village location in the heart of Pembrokeshire's countryside, this remarkable property offers spaciousness, homeliness, and convenience.

Purchased by the current owners in 2011 following the opening of Spittal's new school, School House has been thoughtfully converted into a stunning four-bedroom family home. The property retains the charm and character of its school origins while offering modern living with a unique twist. A standout feature of the conversion is the preservation of the original double-height school room, now a magnificent feature living area, complete with a large mezzanine gallery overlooking the kitchen and a generously sized island at its heart.

The property comprises four generously sized double bedrooms, all with full-height ceilings—not the sloping attic style often found in conversions—two of which have en suite facilities. There is also a family bathroom, an open-plan lounge/diner, a modern kitchen suite, a utility room, and a separate laundry room. Externally, you’ll find an exquisite courtyard garden with a large outbuilding, providing additional potential for use. This spacious, unique layout is bound to appeal to families seeking both character and practicality in their home.

School House combines an array of stunning period features with the hallmarks of 21st-century living. The property benefits from double-glazing throughout, with the original stained glass windows beautifully retained and benefiting from internal glazing. A host of eco-friendly features enhance the home, including an Air Source Heat Pump (ashp) heating system, an ashp/solar water heater booster system, and an ashp air conditioning unit. The property is also equipped with a highly efficient multifuel stove and a 3.9KW, 20-panel solar array, contributing to a sustainable energy supply and providing a healthy income via the generation tariff.

Located in the heart of the sought-after village of Spittal, which boasts its own primary school and a well-known Pembrokeshire public house/restaurant just across the road, this property is conveniently situated. The village is just 5 miles northeast of Haverfordwest and 1 mile from the A40, while the spectacular Pembrokeshire coastline and Preseli Hills are within easy reach, forming part of the National Park—an area of outstanding natural beauty.

This exquisite home offers versatile accommodation and is likely to appeal to a range of potential buyers. It comes highly recommended for those seeking a distinctive family home in the heart of Pembrokeshire.
